They are suitable for smaller flats or houses
Hot water is delivered on demand at near mains pressure.
They often
cost less to install than conventional boilers and cause less disturbance during installation.
The space a hot water tank and cold
header tank would have occupied can be utilised for a different purpose.
Disadvantages of Combination Boilers
The hot water delivery
rate can be slower.
Diminished flow rate if two taps are run at the same time.
An electric immersion heater cannot be installed as a
back up.
Installation is more expensive if you already have a hot water tank.
Boiler Repairs
We carry out boiler repairs to most
makes and models.
Before commencement of any work we are more than willing to give you an estimate of how much a repair will
cost.
If you've already had a quote for a boiler repair we are quite happy to come out and offer our opinion.
Though we are more than content
to install the make of boiler that you, the customer desire; we tend to recommend products by Vaillant or Worcester
Bosch
........in our experience these manufacturers offer the best combination of performance, reliability, cost and
spares availability.
No matter how reliable a boiler is, it will at some time require parts replacement, and we have often
in the past found that spares are not always readily available for some of the cheaper or more esoteric products. It's neither
convenient for the customer nor for us to be advised that the part will be in stock in "about a weeks time".
Again, due
to the relative complexity of modern boilers, it makes sense to have them regularly serviced in accordance with the manufacturers
requirements.
An annual service, particularly in the case of an older appliance can often give advance warning of an incipient
problem, or it can confirm whether or not the appliance is operating efficiently. Most important of all a proper service will ensure
that the appliance is not dangerous to use.
